Academics
75% of students finish within six years, putting completion well above the national norm. 77% of full-time first-years come back for year two, so about one in four are gone before sophomore year. The 11:1 student-faculty ratio is small enough that seminar-sized classes are the norm. Judge these figures against other institutions of the same type — sector explains more of the variation in completion than any single campus factor. The undergraduate body is just 399, which shapes everything from class size to how often a required course is offered.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 312 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Students pay an average of $10,096 annually, well below typical undergraduate net price. Net price varies modestly by income — $9,312 at $0–30k against $11,624 at $75–110k — so the average is a fair guide for most families. Grant aid is widespread — 100% of students receive it, averaging $5,956.
Entering first-year students
A different, smaller group than the rates above: full-time students in their first year of college anywhere. The grant series here also excludes the "other sources" counted in the all-undergraduate figure, so the two are not comparable.

Net price by family income
The same students as the headline above, limited to those who received Title IV federal aid — a narrower group, with a lower overall average. IPEDS publishes no combined figure across these bands, so they should not be averaged into one.

| $0–30k | $9,312 |
| $30–48k | $10,474 |
| $48–75k | $13,779 |
